Yeah. I get the logic. You only put “not suitable for indoor use” if they are safe enough for people to consider using ng them indoors, and have to put it on their just so people can’t blame the company As for the kitchen, I mean, he threw all those fireworks in and nothing happened except scorches, and the one he didn’t drop in the kitchen caused the house to burn down. So the kitchen was more suitable
David's "Oh dear, so you didn't really get the benefit of the display" when Rob says it happened in the day is the funniest part for me! Along with "caramel and Waffle" of course!
I remember seeing him somewhere, might've been on Grapham Norton or something, where he said he changes the names of people in his stories so as to conceal their identities. Which explains why people always have the strangest names

As soon as he said "Standard" fireworks I knew he was truthful, they were the biggest brand, yes, you could just go buy them at 7 yrs old and this is why you can't now. This was the 70's.
@@jacksdjfam I looked it up (as I know for a fact Standard is an Indian company that manufactures in a place called Sivakasi), they are actually two seperate companies both called Standard Fireworks. What are the odds?!
The standard firework’s advertising song was a merry little tune singing light up the sky with standard fireworks. Should have been light up the kitchen if they had of known Bob!!! 😂😂😂
@@Vipa567 i don't think that is exactly right. i do think parents have gotten more concerned recently over their children safety which whilst in many ways are worse, in general has led to a lot less child abuse. personally when i was a kid in the early 2010s, (born in '05) i was allowed out on my own but just wasn't allowed further than like half a mile away from my house. which whilst i do think is quite strict, it is worth noting that my mother has been r*ped before and generally had a very bad childhood where she did stuff like burn a shop down. So whilst I do think a small minority of parents are very protective, I think the general reason for these things is a greater understanding of people's trauma from their childhood that instead of leading to more abuse like in the past, has instead lead to parents maybe being too overprotective. I think in the future, it very much may be flipped again: people who grow up stuffed in their room for most of their day (which is also a consequence of 'cacooning' the tendency for more things being available at home) might encourage their children to take more risks. A big factor is technology though, so it is really hard to make a prediction without knowing where tech will go. Will it become a great assistant to the real world or will it replace the real world?
I think I understand 7-year old Bob's logic. He read "not suitable" and he thought they aren't ideal or great for indoor use, but they're fine.

Standard Fireworks™
"Accept substitutes"
The more outrageous the story, the more truth there is in it coming from Bob.

I think it's bob himself who experiences the most fun with his storytelling
Not sure anyone has more fun telling tales on this show than Bob does. He is brilliant.
My favourite part is how everyone utterly believed it, right up until the moment he mentions Caramel and Waffle.
Then suddenly no one believes a word.
That part probably wasn't true.
@patpat8727 yeah he puts stuff in so people aren't sure either way. He's really good at the game

Now I want see everything Mortiner has been involved, he is such a fresh comedian
'was this on purpose?'
i mean, it's bob mortimer, it's a legitimate question
Ah, I remember the advert. Light up the sky with standard fireworks.
So the Mortimer madness started in his childhood. I wonder about the stories his parents could tell
Your comment is at the top so you gave it away for me.

Whatever it is, they likely tell it with a thousand yard stare...
I love all the Bob Mortimer stories on this show.
As soon as he said "Standard" fireworks I knew he was truthful, they were the biggest brand, yes, you could just go buy them at 7 yrs old and this is why you can't now. This was the 70's.
He is easily the most adventurous man who’s ever lived a normal life !
Bob IS the main character
When I was a child in the fifties, the two main firework brands were Standard and Pains - which I believe is still going.
Bob life is fascinating...
I am an Indian and I can confirm this. Standard are the leaders in firework sales in our country.
In the uk also. Its the only brand ive heard of. I believe they're made in the uk
@@jacksdjfam I looked it up (as I know for a fact Standard is an Indian company that manufactures in a place called Sivakasi), they are actually two seperate companies both called Standard Fireworks. What are the odds?!
@@siddhantshah6013my guess is the brand was a British brand before independence with Indian branch? Then they separated after independence?
@@alst4817 Different companies founded by different people
Light up the sky with Standard Fireworks was their Logo.
Unfortunately the volunteer fire brigade did not put out the fire, as they aren't allowed to use water unless they're palying Squirt

Only from Bob would I be willing to believe Caramel and Waffle
This one almost killed Lee

Caramel and Waffle. So funny!
But mum said don't go out.
🤣🤣🤣
I remember standard fireworks
Even his own team was going off at him for how ridiculous the story was becoming
Is a seven-year old being home alone considered that unusual in the UK?
yes.
yes, unless they are looking after fireworks
It probably wasn't when he was young.
It's unusual nowadays, where kids aren't even allowed to be outside alone.
